TNT starts carbon-free tricycle deliveries in Paris
Friday, January 22nd, 2010

TNT Express France has started using tricycles to deliver light parcels in the centre of Paris.

The carbon-free service will initially cover the 3rd arrondissement of the capital before extending to the entire city heart by June 2010.

The initiative is conducted in cooperation with Green Logistics / Becycle, a new company specialising in ecological transportation. TNT already makes tricycle deliveries in eight other French towns (Lyon, Bordeaux, Saint-Etienne, Dijon, Nancy, Rouen, Grenoble, and Valence).

“Three other city centres will follow during the first half of 2010,” said Eric Jacquemet, the president of TNT Express France. “Cargo tricycles have proved reliable, efficient and popular for inner city deliveries. They are an answer to noise, pollution, and traffic jams.”

So why are we moving to vans when our competition is moving to bikes (or trikes)
